Last week the FDA gave the green light to Boston-based Activ Surgical s intraoperative imaging module ActivSight, which is aimed at improving surgical visualization.
The company has developed a technology that is able to give surgeons real-time intraoperative visual data. ActivSight is a small hardware-agnostic device that connects to an endoscope and a camera system. The system is able to augment installed visualization systems, and allows surgeons insights into the body, like real-time blood flow.
The tool is expected to be incorporated into the company s second product, ActivInisghts, a software platform that that uses AI and machine learning to give surgical insights.
